Industry begins to identify ICD-9 to ICD-10 gaps in Medicare coverage determinations

Jason Gottlieb

National and Local Coverage Determinations (NCD & LCD) are the clinical review policies by which Medicare and its various administrative contractors determine the medical justification for a provided service.  In advance of October 1, these policies were updated to reflect ICD-10 diagnoses that support medical necessity and subsequent payment to providers.  As the industry continues to successfully navigate the transition, it is beginning to notice that certain ICD-10 codes considered clinically equivalenet to the original ICD-9 codes in the old policies have been conspicuously omitted.  As such, providers could be denied for services for which they used to be paid.  As with any policy from the CMS, changes are generally provided in draft and subject to a public comment and reveiew period.  The mere addition of ICD-10 codes to the policy consitutes such a change not to mention the omission of codes.  Medicare has acknowledged those that have been found including   LCD L33627 (peripheral arterial examinations (CPT® codes 93922-93931) which omitted I73.9, the non-specific code for peripheral vascular disease and L35125 (Wound Care) which omitted the ICD-10-CM unspecified stage of pressure ulcer codes.  As such they will be adding these codes into the new policy, making it retroactive to October 1, 2015.  To read more about this developing issue, please click here

 

 

ICD-10 Implementation Reminder: Importance of Closing Out Outpatient Encounters

Jason Gottlieb

As a reminder, please remember to close out any outstanding outpatient encounters for your registration area. The ICD-10 Support Center is actively monitoring the ambulatory service areas to ensure that we are capturing valid ICD-10 Codes. Through our efforts, we have found over 14,000 visits since October 1st that have not yet been closed-out. Closing out visits is a standard operating procedure and should be completed routinely and timely.   Click here to for a guide on using Eagle view to identify which visits are still open for your registration area.

 

If your department needs assistance identifying the appropriate codes to be associated with the patients visit please contact the ICD-10 Support Center at 646-697-9210 or email us at icd-10help@nyp.org .
